Join us for the launch of our most recent VSW Press book, Peer Bode: Open Fields, which expands upon Bode’s five decade career working with electronic media as an interactive system. To celebrate the publication, we will host a conversation between Bode and artist Sherry Miller Hocking, who have been close friends and collaborators since meeting at the Experimental Television Center in the 1970s. Their conversation will be moderated by Mona Jimenez, who, with Sherry Miller Hocking and Kathy High, co-edited the two volume series The Emergence of Video Processing Tools (Intellect, 2014). This event will feature selections from the VSW Press book, a short series of video works, and engaging conversation on Bode’s extensive work as an electronic media artist.
VSW program funders include The New York State Council on the Arts with support from the New York State Legislature, The Joy of Giving Something Foundation, and Monroe County, NY.
